- 從早期單純以木薯粉製成的白色或黑色珍珠粉圓（以下簡稱珍珠），到今天五彩繽紛的各式各樣珍珠或爆爆珠（或稱魔豆、水果球），加上布丁、仙草、水果等配料所創造的新奇組合，以及調味粉、糖漿與茶葉千變萬化的搭配，可說是珍奶產業能夠生生不息，進而逐漸從臺灣紅到香港、中國大陸、東南亞、日本、韓國、北美、歐洲，甚至拉丁美洲、非洲與中東的主要原因。 [MSC, trad.]

- From humble beginnings of making white or black tapioca pearls (hereinafter referred to as just pearls) out of cassava flour, now, there are pearls in all sorts of colors or popping boba (also called magic beans or fruit balls), plus matching ingredients like pudding, grass jelly, fruit, etc. with seasoning, syrup, and tea leaves to create endless combinations. It can be said that this is the principal reason for the bubble tea industry's gradual development from Taiwan to Hong Kong, Mainland China, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, North America, Europe, and even Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
